50cl bottle picked up in Hastings. Deep reddish chestnut with a beige head; aroma of treacle toffee; the flavour is nutty and earthy with a toffee sweetness and a rather thin body; then a light bitterness leaving a vinous finish with a touch of chocolate for good measure. Very easy drinking!

(Cask at Royal Oak, Borough, London, 18 May 2011) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, chocolate, raisins, wort and dark rye bread. Malty, slightly fruity taste with notes of caramel, dark bread, raisins, prunes and a slightly spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Nice one.

Cask proper nonic pint pour at the Diamond in Brooklyn. Pour is a hazed brown with a loose light tan head. Aroma is soft chocolate malt, along with some fruit sweetness. Taste is mildly sour bright bitter green apple, along with the chestnut and the chocolate malt. Palate is medium to thin bodied, with a soft cask carbonation. Quite drinkable, nice.
